What about Grant Park in Chicago? U.S. Grant owned slaves longer than Robert E. Lee did.

Yup!

Upon the fall of Richmond, President and Mrs. Lincoln, General and Mrs. Grant went by boat down the Potomac River and up the James River to Richmond.
On that date, April 4, 1865, there was only one slave in Richmond, Mrs. Grant’s personal servant.
